Is this tool strong enough to use a cut off wheel to remove plastic parts off of a 1/35 scale AFV model?

Yes, this rotary tool has plenty of power for this use. For cut off wheel I would recommend the Proxxon 28830 metal saw blades. Remember this rotary tool is 12 volts and requires the Proxxon 38704 Transformer NG5/E or Proxxon 38706 Transformer NG 2/S

Yes. You can interchange the cutter. Take off the front wing nuts (and washers) and the cutter will come right off.

You know I didn't even check that. I would think so because it is a Fiskars tool and most of them do. So far its been a good tool. Just be sure to not angle it when you push it in the ground, it work a ton better with pushing it straight in the ground. Gets a better grasp of what you are trying to pull out.

I am not sure. I'd have to do some research. But it's used to take off the Crack pulley bolt. It's useful, but that bolt is still a pain to take off even with this.

I only use the wheels to cut very thin metal cans at the top speed of my Dremel tool. It works very well for me. I do notice that some wheels last longer than others even though I cut the same thickness material at the same speed. Wally

Probably not - the wheels are quite large and the handle is held on with nuts and washers so you will probably need a pair of pliers or adjustable wrench.

I don't know. I used it to take paint off of metal and it worked well for that.

I believe so, but I don't have it around right now to check. It is a pretty solid tool. I use it for work that needs to have a good base to dismantle projects. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Definitely. I've done the exact thing without problems, also w/other wheels and flap discs. My work is virtually all grinding, so cut-offs might be problematic.

I coulnd't believe it, however we used this tool to remove lug nuts from one of our skid steers on the job site where we had aflat tire and we had no other tire tools. It worked just fine these tools bare down into some kind of powerfully low torque mode and do a very good job. Since then we have bought more of this tool for our trucks to have in them. We have a lot of hitachi brands and we are very pleased.

I just tried to use them to remove some 1/4-20 stainless flat head screws that were corroded into a piece of aluminum. The #2 tool, which is spec'd for 1/4" fasteners, broke with very little effort. Since the heads were big enough, I then tried to use the #4 tool, which is supposedly strong enough to remove 3/8" fasteners, and it broke too. I don't expect miracles from these tools but I do expect that they would strip the fastener head before breaking themselves. I consider this a design flaw and would not recommend them for really tough jobs.

I use the multi size tool from Harborfreight #38732. It works better than the cheap plastic ones.

I use it to remove fly wheels from garden tractors and so far no problems. So far it has handled all the pressure I can put on it

I have not tried it. The paperwork says 20 or 22 gauge max. The blade is sharp enough to cut but I don't know if the mechanism is strong enough. I did cut off some 3/32 welding rod (I used the stop so I had the same length parts). I had to bump the lever with my hand to snap them off. It left a flat on both sides of the rod. It is a nice LITTLE machine. I bought it for the rolling feature. Have not used it very much yet.

if any mini cut out there can do what you ask. this is it. I would say this is more an industrial unit. than a hobby unit. it is a fully adjustable cutting head and table. and solidly built. I threw away the blade that came with it. for a cut-off wheel. I also modified the blade shield. and extended the safety release handle. for my requirements. I have cut #8 hardened bolts 7/16th thick. the cut-off wheel was slower than the motor to cut through. this should service you well. hope this helps.

As a tool it will be asked to perform tasks not envisioned, by manufacturer. I used it to pull full sized wheels off tractor, however by pulling the legs closer to center shaft the diameter can be reduced to about 5 inches with a fairly plumb surface mount, if the legs cannot bolt down square, it will result in a "soft foot" which is weaker. The hub breaking looses or tool breakage can result in flying stuff so be safe and careful.

Yes. Everything you see you get. Don't know what kind of precision you are looking for, the abrasive wheels ends up making about A 3/8" kerf. If a higher degree of precision is necessary I suggest the diamond wheel. Excellent tool and value.
